On January 24, 2017, a brave little girl entered the world a bit too soon, and struggled to survive with the help of a dedicated team…
Check out Fiona's milk mustache! Watch this video to learn more about how Fiona's care team was able to milk Bibi to get Fiona vital nutrients when she was too weak to nurse on her own: https://t.co/SsEYyReXm0 #NationalMilkDay #TBT pic.twitter.com/4CKsFkf5DW

And now Fiona is about to turn one year old, and the party starts tomorrow. (But only if the weather’s warm, because Fiona’s not too sure about this whole snow deal.)

In this crazy, mixed-up world, Fiona is a roly-poly bundle of joy…
Who shares her boundless love and happiness…
With all who come to visit her.
That’s why we are all Fiona!
Thanks to Catwhisperer, Andrew Y., Lois M. and Smartypants for sharing FionaFinds.
Extra obligatory:
Perfect.
Love it!
It had to be done. Thanks for doing it!
My favorite birthday card of all time!
she was featured on Nightline last. You forget how tiny she was.
Wondered why my submish of Fiona enjoying a January day in the outdoor pool hadn’t been sent on but now that I see the compilation for all of these, I understand. What a great celebration for this marvelous baby and all she’s accomplished. Kudos to all her caregivers for all they did/do to get her to this point. Love the picture of the little girl and Fiona sharing a kiss!! Fiona has no idea how many people’s lives she’s touched by her tenacity at staying alive and giving hope in a sometimes hopeless world. I’m sure Henry is also watching his baby girl’s progress from Hippo Heaven.
